Top Lyon Hotel Reviews

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was perfect for us. Beautiful location. Close to Norte Dame Cathedral and Roman Amphitheater ruins. When you want to go to Old Town for shopping or great restaurants it’s a short ride down the hill on the Furnicular. Easy Peazy. The hotel staff was friendly and courteous. The hotel is historical and beautiful. We would definitely recommend it to family and friends."
